<p>Hey, I would like to tackle the following issue: <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44591" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44591">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44591</a> <br>
But I would require someone to mentor me, at least by giving some pointers into the code where I could start digging.</p>

<p>I believe this is one of the hard bugs that isn't really feasible to targetedly fix, cc <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span></p>

<p>I'm not even sure where to begin. This would require quite some research inside the compiler.</p>

<p>One possible starting point might be the <a href="https://rust-lang.github.io/rustc-guide/" target="_blank" title="https://rust-lang.github.io/rustc-guide/">rustc-guide</a>...</p>

<p>There is a chapter on the trait solvers (old and new style)...</p>

<p>Perhaps somebody like <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116883">@tmandry</span> can give further pointers?</p>

<p>Left a comment on the issue... I hope it's helpful. But this may be something that takes awhile to fix, as a heads up.</p>

<p>Hey <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="236786">@Bastian Köcher</span>, sorry for not responding, just backlogged on things in general. I think <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116883">@tmandry</span> 's comment sounds reasonable indeed, and that this is more or less fixing lazy norm, which is something we're looking into over in <a class="stream" data-stream-id="144729" href="/#narrow/stream/144729-wg-traits">#wg-traits</a> (ever so slowly, and from a few different directions).</p>
